>>> Dear Fellow Guide Dog Handlers,
> Thank you all for the incredible response to The Seeing
> Eye’s advocacy survey. In less than five days, we have received nearly 500
> responses from around the United States and Canada. I’m pleased with the
> support we’ve received so far and would like to urge those who have not
> taken the survey to participate. Don’t forget, it is open to all guide dog
> users in the U.S. and Canada. Those who take the survey before January 7,
> 2011, will be entered into a raffle to win a $100 gift card.
>> If you have started the survey and saved it to return
> later, please access the survey using the link you received in survey
> gizmo’s email. If you have not yet taken the survey, please visit
>http://alturl.com/a5kcg or call 1-800-539-4425 and ask for extension 1520.
> For your convenience, I have included my original email

>>>>>> My letter from Dec. 13, 2010:
>> Dear Fellow Guide Dog Handlers,
>> One of the biggest dangers we face as we travel with our
> guide dogs is attacks or interference from aggressive dogs. In an attempt
> to help increase awareness of this problem and the importance of
> responsible dog ownership for the pet owning public, The Seeing Eye has
> launched a survey across the U.S. and Canada that will take an in-depth
> look at dog attacks and interference.
>> The survey is open to all guide dog handlers in the
> United States and Canada and we will share our summary results upon
> request. We’re using an online service that we know to be user friendly
> for screen readers, so we strongly encourage you to participate and tell
> any other guide dog users you know about this opportunity by forwarding
> this email or sharing the call-in number.
>> It’s very important that we get responses from people who
> have not encountered problems with other dogs as well as those who have,
> no matter which school their dogs are from. The data we collect from the
> survey will be essential in making our case with law enforcement and
> animal control officers as well as with legislators as we urge them to
> enact or strengthen laws to protect guide dog teams. The survey will take
> between 5 to 20 minutes depending on your answers. You may access the
> survey at the following link: http://alturl.com/a5kcg>> For those of you who can't or don't want to take the
> survey online, you can call The Seeing Eye's main number, 800-539-4425,
> and ask for extension 1520. You will be asked to leave your name and phone
> number, and a volunteer will call you to conduct the survey by telephone.
> The preferred method though is to take the survey online, so I ask you to
> utilize that method if at all possible.
>> All those who respond by Friday, January 7, 2011, will be
> entered in a raffle to win a $100 gift card.
>> Thank you all, in advance, for helping us to better
> understand the scope of the issue and to work toward a solution to dog
> interference and dog attacks.

>> Jim Kutsch
